A metà strada tra l'hard-boiled e il noir, colpisce per il cinismo del protagonista. Scrittura asciutta, con tocchi di violenza, sesso e cinico umorismo. E' il primo libro di Thompson che leggo, dopo averne sentito tessere le lodi nientemeno che da Stephen King, e pur non essendo un appassionato di questo genere devo riconoscere che è stata una lettura interessante. Como sheriff de Potts County, una pequeña población rural de la América más profunda, Nick Corey dedica gran parte de su tiempo a comer, dormir y eludir los problemas que surgen en el pueblo. Su máximo deseo es que la gente lo deje en paz. Pero, ante la proximidad de las elecciones, Nick Corey ve que su permanencia en el cargo peligra y por ello decide poner remedio a la situación. La solución que adopta no es la que anhelan los 1.280 habitantes del pueblo, es decir, que ponga fin a su haraganería y corrupción, sino que más bien consiste en «limpiar» el pueblo. Empezará por un par de tipejos que tienen por costumbre mofarse de él y seguirá con unos cuantos habitantes más. La cuestión es apartar de su camino a las personas que más le incordian. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"Nick Corey is a terrible sheriff on purpose. He doesn't solve problems, enforce rules or arrest criminals. He knows that nobody in tiny Potts County actually wants to follow the law and he is perfectly content lazing about, eating five meals a day, and sleeping with all the eligible women. Still, Nick has some very complex problems to deal with. Two local pimps have been sassing him, ruining his already tattered reputation. His girlfriend Rose is being terrorized by her husband. And then, there's his wife and her brother Lenny who won't stop troubling Nick's already stressed mind. Are they a little too close for a brother and a sister? With an election coming up, Nick needs to fix his problems and fast. Because the one thing Nick does know is that he will do anything to stay sheriff. Because, as it turns out, Sheriff Nick Corey is not nearly as dumb as he seems. In Pop. 1280, widely regarded as a classic of mid-20th century crime, Thompson offers up one of his best, in a tale of lust, murder, and betrayal in the Deep South that was the basis for the critically acclaimed French film Coup de Torchon"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

This is an extremely dark book. Much darker than you'd assume from the description on the cover, and it only gets darker the more you think about it. The view of the world represented here is bleak. The book deploys the violence and sex typical of its pulpy roots, but it's not a guilty pleasure here, or even a titillation. It's more like a condemnation of everything: the reader, the author, the genre, the world. Dang. ( )
